It was suggested that I read this book and after having heard many different opinions where people either absolutely love it, or completely dislike it. I went into it with a fairly open mind, knowing that it may not be for me. Upon starting it, I knew it was going to take a bit more concentration as there are various periods of time that the story is set in and it doesn't always follow them in a linear line. I have not been ones to tab books before however I feel that this is definitely the sort of book that could easily be tabbed, if just to keep track of the different dates. It only took me a few chapters to get used to the writing style and the concept of the timeline. After that I was hooked. It was a wonderful story, one of which I'm sure will stay with me for a long time to come and I will likely keep this as a reread. I can see why this book isn't for everyone though. However for me it was perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed every single page.
